PUBLISHERS'  PREFACE- 


In   once  more   sending  forth  to  the  world  of  happy 
homes,  tliis   noblest   Poem   of  "the   greatest    Poet  that 
ever  sprang   from    the  bosom  of  the  people,"  the   Pub- 
lishers  find    their   occasion  and  excuse— if  such   could 
be  ever  needed— partly  in   the   fact,  that   it   has  never 
before    been    detached    from    the    collected    W'orks    of 
Burns  to  receive  those  adornments  of  Art  which   have 
been  so   bountifully  and    lovingly  bestowed    on   Gray's 
"Elegy,"   Goldsmith's    "Deserted    Village,"    Coleridge's 
"Ancient    Mariner,"   Thomson's    'Seasons,"  and    other 
kindred  treasures  of  our   English  verse;  but  chiefly  in 
the    cordial    enthusiasm    with    which    artist,    engraver, 
printer,  and   binder   have   lent   their   happiest   skill   to 
present  it  in  attire  harmonious  Avith  its  spiritual  beauty, 
and  worthy  of  its  essential  preciousnes^,

[Y   loved,  my  honoured,   much-respected 
friend ! 
No  mercenary  bard  his  homage  pays; 
With  ^lonest  pride,  I  scorn  each  selfish  end  ; 
My  dearest  meed,  a  friend's  esteem  and 
praise : 

To  you  I  sing,  in  simple  Scottish  lays, 
The  lowly  train  in  life's  sequestered  scene; 
The  native  feelings  strong,  the  guileless  ways; 
What  Aiken  in  a  cottage  would  have  been ; 
Ah!  though  his  worth  unknown,  far  happier  there,  I  ween/

November  chill  blaws  loud  wi'  angry  sugh; 

The  short'ning  winter-day  is  near  a  close; 
The  miry  beasts  retreating  frae  the  pleiigh  ; 

The  black'ning  trains  o'  craws  to  their  repose: 
The  toil-worn  Cotter  frae  his  labour  goes, 

This  night  his  weekly  moil  is  at  an  end, 
Collects  his  spades,  his  mattocks,  and  his  hoes, 

Hoping  the  morn  in  ease  and  rest  to  spend. 
And  weary,  o'er  the  moor,  his  course  does  hameward  bend

Belyve,  the  elder  bairns  come  drapping  in, 

At  service  cut,  amang  the  farmers  roun' ; 
Some  ca'  the  pleugh,  some  herd,  some  tentie  rin 

A  cannie  errand  to  a  neebour  town: 
Their  eldest  liope,  tlieir  Jenny,  woman  grown, 

In  youthfu'  bloom,  love  sparkling  in  her  e'e, 
Comes  hame,  perhaps,  to  show  a  braw  new  gown, 

Or  deposit  her  sair-won  penny-fee, 
To  help  lier  parents  dear,  if  they  in  hardship  be.

Wi'  joy  unfeigned,  brothers  and  sisters  meet, 

An'  each  for  other's  weelfare  kindly  spiers: 
The  social  hours,  swift-winged,  unnoticed  fleet; 

Each  tells  the  uncos  that  he  sees  or  hears; 
The  parents,  partial,  eye  their  hopeful  years; 

Anticipation  forward  points  the  view. 
The  mother,  vvi'  her  needle  an'  her  shears, 

Gars  auld  claes  look  amaist  as  weel's  the  new; 
The  father  mixes  a'  wi'  admonition  due.

The  yonkers  a'  are  warned  to  obey ; 
An'  mind  their  labours  wi'  an  eydent  hand, 

An'  ne'er,  though  out  o'  sight,  to  jauk  or  play: 
"An'  oh!  be  sure  to  fear  the  Lord  ahvay, 

An'  mind  your  duty,  duly,  morn  an'  night! 
Lest  in  temptation's  path  ye  gang  astray. 
Implore  His  counsel  and  assisting  might  :

But  hark!  a  rap  comes  gently  to  the  door; 

Jenny,  wlia  kens  the  meaning  o'  the  same, 
Tells  how  a  neebour  lad  cam  o'er  the  moor. 

To  do  some  errands,  and  convoy  her  hame 
The  wily  motlicr  sees  the  conscious  flame 

Sparkle  in  Jenny's  e'e,  and  flush  her  cheek ; 
Wi'  heart-struck  anxious  care,  inquires  his  name, 

While  Jenny  hafflins  is  afraid  to  speak; 
Weel  pleased  the  mother  hears  it's  nae  wild,  worthless  rake.

Wi'  kindly  welcome  Jenny  brings  him  ben; 

A  strappan  youth;  ho  takes  the  niotiier's  eye; 
Blythe  Jenny  sees  the  visit's  no  ill  ta'en; 

The  fother  cracks  of  horses,  pleughs,  and  kye. 
The  youngster's  artless  heart  o'erflows  wi'  joy, 

But  blato  an'  laithfu',  scarce  can  weel  behave; 
The  mother,  wi'  a  woman's  wiles,  can  spy 

What  makes  the  youth  sac  bashfu'  an'  sae  grave; 
Weel  pleased  to  think  her  bakn's  respected  like  the  lave.

O  hotirt-felt  raptures!  bliss  beyond  conipurel 
I've  paced  much  this  weary,  mortal  round,

A  wretch!  a  villain!  lost  to  love  and  truth! 
That  can,  with  studied,  sly,  ensnaring  art, 

Betray  sweet  Jenny's  unsuspecting  youth? 
Curse  on  his  perjured  arts!  dissembling  smooth! 

Arc  honour,  virtue,  conscience,  all  exiled? 
Is  there  no  pity,  no  relenting  ruth, 

Points  to  the  parents  fondling  o'er  their  child? 
Then  paints  the  ruined  maid,  and  their  distraction  wild!

But  now  the  supper  crowns  their  simple  board, 

The  healsome  parritch,  chief  o'  Scotia's  food : 
The  buupe  their  only  hawkie  does  afford, 

That  'yoijt  the  hallan  snugly  chows  her  cood; 
The  dame  brnigs  forth  in  complimental  mood. 

To  grace  the  lad,  her  weelhain'd  kebbuck,  fell, 
An'  aft  he's  prest,  an'  aft  he  ca's  it  guid  ; 

The  frugal  wifie,  garrulous,  will  tell. 
How  'twas  a  towmond  auld,  sin'  lint  was  i'  the  bell.

His  bonnet  rev'rently  is  laid  a-ide, 

His  lyart  hafFets  wearing  thin  an'  bare; 
Those  strains  that  once  did  sweet  in  Zion  glide,

They  chant  their  artless  notes  in  simple  guise ; 

They  tune  their  hearts,  by  far  the  noblest  aim: 
Perhaps  Dundee's  wild  warbling  measures  rise. 

Or  plaintive  Martyrs,  worthy  of  the  name; 
Or  noble  Elgin  beets  the  Heav'nward  flame, 

The  sweetest  far  of  Scotia's  holy  lays ; 
Compared  with  these,  Italian  trills  are  tame  •■

Perlmps  the  Christian  volume  is  the  theme, 

How  guiltless  hlood  for  guilty  man  was  shed; 
How  Me,  who  hore  in  Heaven  the  second  name, 

Had  not  on  earth  whereon  to  lay  His  head; 
How  His  first  followers  and  servants  sped; 

The  precepts  sage  tliey  wrote  to  many  a  land: 
How  he,  who  lone  in   Patmos  hanished, 

Saw  in  the  sun  a  mighty  angel  stand  ; 
And  heard  r  -eat  Bah'lon's  doom  pr-  iiounced  by  Heavens

Then  kneeling  down,  to  Heaven's  Eternal  King, 

The  saint,  the  father,  and  the  husband  prays : 
Hope  "springs  exulting  on  triumphant  wing,"* 

That  thus  they  all  shall  meet  in  future  days; 
There  ever  bask  in  uncreated  rays, 

No  more  to  sigh,  or  shed  the  bitter  tear, 
Together  hymning  their  Creator's  praise, 

In  such  society,  yet  still  more  dear ; 
While  circling  Time  moves  round  in  an  eternal  sphere

Compared  with  this,  how  poor  Rehgion's  pride, 

In  all  the  pomp  of  method,  and  of  art, 
When  men  display  to  congregations  wide 
Devotion's  ev'ry  grace,  except  the  heart  1 
The  Power,  incensed,  the  pageant  will  desert, 

The  pompous  strain,  the  sacerdotal  stole; 
But  haply,  in  some  cottage  far  apart, 

May  hear,  well  pleased,  the  language  of  the  soul, 
And  in  His  hook  of  life  the  inmates  poor  enroll.

From  scenes  like  these  old  Scotia's  grandeur  springs, 

That  makes  her  loved  at  home,  revered  abroad : 
Princes  and  lords  are  but  the  breath  of  kings, 

"An  honest  man's  the  noblest  work  of  God:" 
And  certes,  in  fair  Virtue's  heav'nly  road, 

The  cottage  leaves  the  palace  far  behind ; 
What  is  a  lordling's  pomp?  a  cumbrous  load, 

Disguising  oft  the  wretch  of  human  kind, 
Studied  in  arts  of  hell,  in  wickedness  refined!

0  Scotia !  my  dear,  my  native  soil ! 

For  whom  my  warmest  wish  to  Heaven  is  sent ! 
Long  may  thy  hardy  sons  of  rustic  toil 

Be  blest  with  health,  and  peace,  and  sweet  content! 
And,  oh,  may  Heaven  their  simple  lives  prevent 

From  luxury's  contagion,  weak  and  vile ! 
Then,  howe'er  crowns  and  coronets  be  rent, 

A  virtuous  populace  may  rise  the  while, 
And  stand  a  wall  of  fire  around  their  much-loved  Isle.

That  streamed  through  vVullact-'f?  raidaunted  heart 
Who  dared  to  nobly  stem  tyrannic  pride, 

Or  nobly  die,  the  second  glorious  part, 
(The  patriot's  God,  peculiarly,  Thou  ar\ 

Tlis  Friend,  Inspirer,  Guardian,  and  Reward!) 
0  never,  never,  Scotia's  realm  desert ; 

But  still  the  patriot,  and  the  patriot-bard, 
In  bright  succession  raise,  her  ornament  and  guard !
